And that could include things like misting stations, hydration stations, cooling tents,
and putting more of those hydration facilities around the stadium footprint.
Well, this film's an animation.
It was actually released over 20 years ago.
Now, in 2008, that Oscar nomination that you mentioned there, Marjan Satrapi became the first woman to be nominated in the Best Animation feature category.
And when it won the prize in Cannes in 2007, she said, even if this is a universal film, I want to dedicate this prize to all Iranians.
Now, it follows a character called Margie, as you mentioned, growing up in Iran.
She's battling with these restrictions.
For example, we see her buying Western clothes and music on the black market.
She's outspoken, as Marjan was in real life.
At one point, she's expelled from school for questioning the teacher's account of the government.
Marjan Satrapi said of the film, it was a reminder that Iranians are just like everyone else.
She said, what we wanted to say is, if these people scare you, look closer.
They have parents, they have lovers, they have hope, they have stories.
Well, like her character, she grew up in Iran.
She was sent to Austria by her parents to finish her studies in the 1980s.
She returned to Iran and then in her 20s, she went to live in France, where she became a voice for Iranian women.
Now, after the death of an Iranian Kurdish woman in protests in Iran in 2022, she said it's very important that this regime disappears immediately.
She said it wouldn't happen overnight, but she said, I think it's important to remain hopeful.
And here she is talking to the BBC in 2022.
